NO. 10.
A REMARKABLE LAW SUIT.

One of the most remarkable law
suits on record is that of Mary Bryne
against the New York Central rail
road. In 1870 Mary, then 10 years
of age, while crossing an alley in
Troy, N. Y, was run over by the
New York Central road, and one of
her legs was so badly crushed that it
had to be amputated above the knee
on two occasions. OF course she was
made a cripple for life. She sued
through her guardian for damages.
The case has been tried four times
in the Circuit Court in Troy, and
seven appeals to the General Term
and to the Court of Appeals have
been taken by the unsuccessful party
for the time being. On the first trial
the jury gave the little girl $4,000
damages. This was set aside by the
General Term, which held that the
girl was guilty of contributory negli-
gence, and hence could not recover
anything. Her counsel then took
their way to the Court of Appeals,
and court granted new trial, hold
ing that the girls negligence, if any,
must be submitted to the jury. On
the new trial, in 1875, the jury gave
the girl $4,000 damages. On appeal
from this judgment the Court of
Appeals set it aside on the sole
ground that the place where the ac-
cident occurred was not a public and
travelled highway, so as to impose
the statutory duty on the railroad of
ringing the bell or blowing the whis-
tie on approaching it. On the fourth
trial, in 1885, the case was tried on
that theory, the plaintiffs counsel
insisting that, although the place of
the accident was nota public and trav-
eled highway, yet it was place where
a large number of people were accus-
toned to cross daily, and therefore
the railroad company was bound to
take at least ordinary care while run
ming through populous part of the
city. The jury gave a verdict on
this fourth trial of $500. This view
was sustained by the Court of APP
peals on this last appeal. So the
case finally ends, after seventeen
years of legal warfare. The cost to
the defendant, including interest,
extra allowance and court charges, is
nearly $4,000.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Here is a shoe shop. One man ill
the shop is always busy during the
day, always Industrious. There are
five other men in the shop who don't
do any such thing. They spend half
of their working hours in loafng and
their working evenings in dissipation.
The first young man by and by cuts
out from these others, and gets a
boot and shoe store of his own. The
five laborers, his former companions,
retire to neighboring saloon and
pass a resolution that there is an
eternal struggle between labor and
capital. -lNGERsoLL.

The Douglasville Star speaking of
the coal find on Sweetwater creek,
says: Not having seen the coal our
selves, we are not prepared to Say
what is there and we wait develop
ments. We trust that it may turn
out to be a valuable bed. But since
this excitement has begun we have
tall ed to three different men, who
say that they can show the out crop
ing coal in several places on Sweet
water creek. One of them told us he
could go to a spot lot eight miles
from Douglasville, and get a wagon
load of coal in an hour by digging it
out of the ground. We are not at
liberty at present to give the names
of these gentlemen, but they are re-
sponsible men, and are considered
reliable in all things,

THE EXPERIENCE OF A COLORED
MAN WHO MADE $40, 900.
Chattanooga Times.

A few days since a well-known ne.
gro man, who was the fortunate
possessor of a fine lot on one of the
leading resident streets of the city,
sold his property for $4,000 cash.
He was given check for that amount
which was carried in due time to one
OF the banks. The paying teller ask
ed the negro how much of the money
he wanted in cash,
81 wants all that ar paper calls
fur" replied the negro,
"What? You don't want $1,000
in cash p
"Jesso, sah."
"All right" answered the man who
shufiles the bank bills, and in five
minutes he began piling the money
on the counter. AS he laid the $500
packages on the counter the negro's
eyes began to grow larger and larg-
er, and finally when twenty of the
packages were placed before him his
eyes looked as large as new moons.
The negro looked intently at the
stack of money for a moment and
then, with broad grin on his tace,
said:
''Pse jist paralyzed, boss; gimme
s1,50 and you kin keep de rest OF
that till call agin."

WHERE GENIUS Is ADMIRED "A
stranger who had just arrived at a
country hotel in Arkansaw, became
involved in a hot discussion with the
clerk. Finally the stranger, striking
the rough pine counter with his fist,
exclaimed:
"You are the biggest liar in Ar
kansaw :"
The clerk, instead OF becoming Of
Tended, said:
"Let me see you a minute, please"
He drew the stranger aside and re-
marked:
"Who told you 7"
"Who told me whaty"

State"

''rhen how did you find it out Z"
II knew 1t at a glance.s
"My friend" said the clerk affec-
tionately placing one hand on the
strangers shoulder, you are the
sharpest man | ever saw. 1t took
me some time to find it out, but am
the biggest liar in the State. If you
were as good a judge Of horse as
you.are of a man, you could soon get
rich in this country. Stay at our
house as long as you please, and your

where genius is admired as much as
it is at this hotel"

A SENSIBLE HORSE.

A correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune writes; \ lady be-
nevolent to brutes observed from her
gate one day a miserable horse, with
the shoulder raw and bleeding, at
tempting to Craze on an open spot
adjacent; having by means Of some
bread coaxed the poor animal to the
gate, she then managed, with some
assistance, to cover the wound with
adhesive plaster spread ON piece of
soft leather. The man to whom the
animal belonged Zone of those ignor-
ant and careless beings who are in
different to the sufferings of any but
themselves shortly afterward led the
horse away. The next day, however,
the horse made his appearance again
at the gate, over which he put his
head and gently neighed. On look
ing at him it was found that the plas-
ter was removed. either by the ami
malls master or by the rubbing of the
ill-made collar in which he worked.
The plaster was renewed. The third
day he appeard again, requiring the
same attention, which he solicited in
similar manner After this the
plaster was allowed to remain and
the horse recovered; but ever after,
whenever it saw its benefactress, it
would Immediately approach her, and
by VOICE and action testify its sense
of her kindness and notice.

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine for
March

Opens with the Eighth of the late
Mr.. POwel's ''Leayes from my Life"

in the same gossipy waya in the other
papers Of the series. A remarkably
strong poem, "From Henceforth Sin
No More" by S. b. Elliott, is in this
number. 1t is above the average of
magazine verse. Illustrated articles
on Russian Schools" "Some Mem
cries OF the Tuileries," "a Buried
Greek City in Egypt" and Famous
English Literary Women give vari-
ETY. and interest to this number. The
aforementioned article is accompan-
led by six portraits. "The Bible Glass
Exercises" formerly known as ere
creations offer cash prizes for the
best answers. Here is fine oppor-
tunity for studying the Bible to prof
it. The serial stories are continued,
and there is an abundant store of
short papers, poems, sketches, etc.
The illustrations are numerous and
beautiful.
